Smith - Community Living Arrangement #2

Smith - Community Living Arrangement #2, also called Smith CLA #2, holds a small number of residents, with room for up to six older adults in a home-like setting, and that makes things feel more personal and quiet, a place where routines aren't too rushed and everyone knows each other pretty well. This arrangement has 24-hour caregivers on duty, so help's always nearby, whether it's getting in and out of the bath, with dressing, or just moving around the house, and there's close attention paid to things like medication reminders, hygiene, support with using the toilet or getting into bed, and the daily things folks might need. The security system keeps everyone safe inside, and they've put measures in place to help keep people from wandering, especially for folks with memory problems, and there's special programs just for Alzheimer's and other memory care needs, plus things like music therapy, animal visits, and games to keep people's minds active and engaged. Amenities are designed for comfort-a book room to sit and read, a hot tub, a sauna or health area for relaxation, a barber or beauty shop right in the house so no one has to travel far, yards and garden spaces for a bit of sunshine, and common areas for playing cards or board games. Regular activities fill the week with movie nights, craft hours, fitness and wellness programs, and community night events, and having these planned out gives everybody something to look forward to. Meals are cooked fresh every day, and special diets-like for diabetes or high blood pressure-can be handled with some notice, so folks don't have to worry about what's on their plate. There's also a mobile stylist for haircuts or grooming, and transportation's arranged for medical appointments, errands, or going out to church. High supervision, help with transfers (even two-person help if it's needed), and attention to individual medical needs come as a standard part of care here, which is more hands-on than larger assisted living homes. There's laundry, scheduled housekeeping, and an emergency alert system, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible. Each of these features makes Smith CLA #2 a steady, safe space for older adults who need steady support and enjoy living in a smaller, familiar group.
